Forensic psychologist Annie Hunter runs a PI agency. She pits her talented "Nut Crackers" team against Tommy Ray Bruder, who'd snatched her best friend, Hailey, when Annie was 14. Annie made a pledge back then to find her. Bruder was caught for another crime, but he refused to say what happened to Hailey. From prison, he's been writing coded poems to entice podcasters to get him released. These same codes offer Annie new clues for locating Hailey, but she must do this before Bruder walks free. Her efforts provoke Bruder's former partner, a dangerous man with his own damage path. Annie's promise to find Hailey imperils her entire team.
